Gomer has talent. Me? I can't build mental pictures well. Shoot, when I get bored in class, I only draw stickfigures. Gomer's right though, building mental images is the best way to set up a good looking tank. But a good way to start off to help you get in the motion of building mental images is to simply trial and error things out. Look for a piece of wood. If you like it just for the way it looks then take it home. Place it in as many different positions as possible. When you feel you have finally chosen the perfect position for that piece of wood, plant plant plant. A few weeks later, once the plants grown in, maybe it won't be allll that spectacular, but you at least gain some experience in setting up driftwood. This experience will carryon while you shop online/lfs/lakes and shores for driftwood.

In my honest opinion, any piece of wood has a GREAT potential in looking real nice in the tank. It's seriously all about who designs the plants around/ontop of it.

Ok guys. WHOEVER Lives in southern california...GO WOOD HUNTING end of this week. Since it started to rain today, some people may be able to find some good pieces. Magnus and I will go around to look for wood and if we find good ones we may even sell it at a cheap price locally. Shipping would be a bastard. Magnus showed me a piece last time that was just incredibly awesome. Perfect for 60 gallon cube tank and he got it for free at the jetty. Take advantage of nature. People hate rain, but for me, it's a sign of a better tomorrow. Take cares and good luck!

Good Lord. That has got to be a showtank wood. Look AT THAT! That probably saved Magnus at least 60 bucks. Jeez.
